Tim DeChristopher, Utah Environmental Activist, Being Charged By Government For Failing To Pay Oil Bid

“Wrong again Niko,
Had the BLM followed procedure, Tim would never have gotten a bidder's paddle.
But they didn't because Bush rushed the auction because he was trying to give his Oil buddy's a last minute gift (Dec 19th 2008) on his way out.
Nikko and Bush, sittin in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G! YUCK!”

You're wrong Niko, We raised $120k in 9 days and tendered the $45k as required. The BLM refused. Then they tried to fine him $85k later on, then retracted that demand.
It is actually quite common for bidders to win leases at auction then default. No one has ever been convicted for this let alone charged.
I like the way you equated Tim's act with the Bush admins. Tim was covering YOUR butt, Bush was covering is Oil Buddy's.”

“Well then I stand corrected. Thanks for the inside info. The BLM should have taken the down payment. I already commented on the fact that the selective prosecution was a good angle. The agency should be enforcing its laws equally. (However, there wasn't necessarily fraud in those other cases. Tim never intented to fork out $1.8 million for those leases.)”

“No kidding. This was posted on my blog last night.
I am the wife of Michael Z. Williamson referenced in the above blog. I am neither helpless, nor needing defended. That is because I can shoot a gun. And after I run out of ammo, I can bludgeon someone to death with it. If someone threatens me or anyone I care about, I intend to see that they are unable to do so again. I prefer nonviolent means - I have a dislike of cleaning blood out of the carpet and brains off of the walls. However, I will use the means I deem necessary. As for the attention this issue deserves; this will be my only post. I have more things to do that watch people douse themselves with metaphorical gasoline and run around hoping to catch someone else on fire. People who are too scared to discuss the issue rationaly and listen to facts are too scared to listen or be rational. I have a life. I suggest that some of the people on this forum need to get one themselves. And yes Virgina, I really do exist.

“The Founding Fathers who authored the Second Amendment owned other human beings who were not included by that very Amendment. In fact they were talking about State militia, not individuals.
At the time, the average American redneck couldn't buy a gun that could spray 60 rounds in 15 seconds for the price of a old used buggy.
To suggest that their intent was to subordinate public safety over the de-facto gun rights you have today would be a terrible distortion of reality.
You guys lost the last 2 elections for good reason and if you don’t back off you will find your circle jerk has become a circular firing squad not unlike the one that is destroying the republican party as I write this.”

“What I would actually like to see, is for all you responsible, passionate, law-abiding, piece-packing-people (PPPs) to arm yourselves to the teeth fully before we implement new really strict gun laws.
We should require vigorous annual gun registration and safety checks. Every registered is physically inspected and confirmed by serial number, each year (just like a car).
If a gun goes missing, all your guns are confiscated and there is an investigation to determine what happened to the gun and you must satisfy a magistrate that you really are a responsible gun owner before you get your guns back.
At the same time, the government subsidizes a gun buy back (and amnesty) program run through licensed gun dealers. Over time, illegal guns would trickle back into the system. Most criminals and drug addicts are desperate for cash at some point and will turn them in for cash, no questions asked.
The next thing you know, people are stealing unregistered and illegal guns just for the cash. Pretty soon, the supply of illegal guns begins shrinking and their value go up and up to the point where mere possession of an illegal gun implies you are a serious criminal with bad intentions.
You guys always say criminals will guns no matter what. Maybe not. If an illegal gun costs $500 - $5000 bucks, read http://oneutah.org/2009/03/26/parent-uses-9yo-son-to-promote-guns/comment-page-7/ge-7/#comment-133197

“What about automatic weapons....this killer had one, and so ambulances and medics couldn't even get to the wounded police officers? It took three hours for somebody to talk the guy into surrendering, and his weapon had a range of A CITY MILE. Is that an "abberation": that is OK with you? It is that thinking that any kind of gun control at all is some kind of slippery slope that keeps the NRA in money, and manages to terrify the decent people in congress (if there are any left who don't depend on the NRA's dirty money). Why should anybody be subject to the craziness of a disturbed person WITH an automatic weapon just because a group refuses to allow any kind of control all, and manages to buy our congress with the money from these hostile nutcases who buy into the slippery slope crapola?”

“Civil disobedience against social injustice brings attention to the cause of justice. Like civil rights and racial equality, the issues are relatively clear and easy for most people to understand at the visceral and emotional levels, and take stands.
Civil disobedience in a more complex case of resource utilization, such as coal technology versus green renewable energies, the issues are not immediately clear and obvious at the visceral level. Therefore it is not as effective as a tool of persuasion. In many instances, the vested commercial interests succeed in public misinformation, with the active or quiet connivance of the mass media to muddy up the issues and arguments, and marginalize the participants. I question if the advocates are not using the wrong ineffective tools for the job of patient persuasion of public opinion. Sometimes it takes more than raw emotional courage to advance a just cause.”
